Atom Ant 0 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sounds like the ideal weather window before the shite comes in again. May even get away for a night on Monday. Gee it was windy last night. When I got up this morning my bbq had "sailed" across the deck! Link to post Share on other sites

ab1974 1 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Sailed from Kawau to Rakino on the 30th. Saw 40 Knots past outside of Tiri. Regularly hitting double digits with just reefed main up. Sea getting pretty lumpy. Night in Woody bay was eventful. Dragged back onto the one mooring in the bay and when went to move and reset at 3am in howling wind and pelting rain the anchor had tangled around the mooring line. Ended up picking up the mooring and going back to sleep. Luckily had all the dive gear on board so managed tom get it untangled in the morning. Couldn't see anything..... Great sail from Rakino back to Westhaven yesterday. Was glad I'd swapped the wife and kids for the brother in law for the sail though! Kawau was great from the 23rd the the 28th when things started to get a bit windy. Link to post Share on other sites
smithy09 50 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Phew ab. Glad we sat those days out.. We are in a very full Bon Accord tonight. Heading for Barrier tommorrow if the forecast is correct! Link to post Share on other sites
ab1974 1 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Weather looking good for run to barrier tomorrow. Bon Accord had a few boats waiting for the weather to clear before we left but wasnt near full so guessing number following your plan smithy. Enjoy barrier. Link to post Share on other sites
shanson 0 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 So how full is Barrier? Anyone up there? SHANE Link to post Share on other sites

Bon Accord had a few boats waiting for the weather to clear before we left but wasnt near full so guessing number following your plan smithy. Enjoy barrier. Thanks ab. Yeah, full enough to have us anchored out in the middle with a westerly still blowing in here. Anchorline like a bowstring... Should swing to the SW and drop a bit according to predict wind so we should be OK. Might be a fun ride to the Barrier. Kite up with the kids as crew?? Maybe! Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Is there plenty of shelter out at the barrier with the SW wind? Link to post Share on other sites
Bad Kitty 252 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Is there plenty of shelter out at the barrier with the SW wind? Yeah plenty of places to hide wheels, if you haven't been out there yet get on your bike! It's beautiful, looks like a mob headed over that way. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Has anyone got a status report on how full Bon Accord is? Looking at heading that way from Gulf Harbour this afternoon... Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Team Wheels is now playing host to Shanson while swinging on our mooring. Shanson is rafted up. The wind has really picked up here. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Team Wheels is now playing host to Shanson while swinging on our mooring. Shanson is rafted up.The wind has really picked up here. I hope your mooring will cope with the loads of 2 heavy boats! It looks like you may miss the window for sailing to the Barrier the easy way. Forecast is for it turning NE tomorrow. Bang on the nose. Went out for a blast on the Offender yesterday with Pedro, Megwyn and husband & offspring. Loads of fun, and nothing too exciting - no more than 15 knots - boatspeed that is!

Let's hope we all can have so much fun. What's wrong A-A couldn't you get the kids to paddle any faster - 15 kts boat-speed - was that with only 1 arm per kid. Enjoy all, I'm stuck 2 1/2 stories up on a roof in 44* - hanging over the edge - cleaning gutters. Bloody long way down for a chap of 'manuer-years' (that was for Wheels to enjoy at my expense) - I'd rather be up a mast of twice that height - nothing much on a roof to hang on to. I see that 'Banque Populaire' is some 1500 miles/knotical miles in front of 'Groupama 3's position at the same time. They've been doing 25.3kts up to 32.4kts since late last nite. WOW That's osme very serious sailing speed & here we sit - out at Barrier or on a roof. Druther be where they are. Glad you got back for festive season with 'ruggies' & the boss Greg. Enjoy what you get done in 2012. Caio for the other side of the puddle, james Link to post Share on other sites
